“When I die, don’t hurt for me.
Know that I’m safe and sound.
That I’m always with you.”
When I die, don’t mourn for me. Know that I’m forever asleep, dreaming for the rest of eternity. When I die, don’t miss me. Because I’m always with you. In your hearts. In your memories. Know that I’m always right beside you. When I die, don’t hurt for me. Know that I’m safe and sound. That I’ll be there for all the big moments. Even the little ones too.
Just as long as you don’t forget me.

So, please, don’t ever forget me.

I wish eternal sleep was adorned by dreams, but I feel for certain that its simply lights out and a bleak and complete freedom without direction/intent/purpose/sense of meaning or self. Beautifully written poem.

I fear the same too. My son (he’s almost 8) has the belief that we dream after we die. I think that’s beautiful. I hope he doesn’t lose that.

So don’t hurt because you are gone; rather, be in their hearts the light you gave them while you were still bright and alive, right? 🙂
